Real Housewife of New Jersey Wasn’t Advocating Rape

I feel really out of the loop every time I read a story about the Real Housewives of wherever, like there’s this pop culture knowledge gap that will just never close because I refuse to let myself become addicted to this or World of Warcraft, but Melissa Gorga, one of the ones from Jersey, wrote a controversial passage in her new book, Love Italian Style, about how women just want to be turned around and penetrated at random times.

In her husband Joe’s words:

Men, I know you think your woman isn’t the type who wants to be taken. But trust me, she is. Every girl wants to get her hair pulled once in a while. If your wife says “no,” turn her around, and rip her clothes off. She wants to be dominated. Women don’t realize how easy men are. Just give us what we want.

And everyone gasped and got all politically correct just in case the Gorgas were talking about some sketchy gray area rape, but I think we all need to be reminded that there’s a difference between that and rough consensual sex. The lines aren’t THAT blurred, and this is pretty tune in with every piece of horrible marital advice I’ve ever read in Cosmopolitan. Melissa responded with this Tweet:

I’m so disgusted that a reporter has taken things completely out of context simply for shock value. #SAD

I figure if you like a certain kind of lurve making, you should probably tell your partner before you surprise them with it, but the man was not talking about rape so stop pretending to be morally responsible and shut up about this. Love, Robin Thicke and Rick Ross.
